Generous and seductive, Majella The Malleea is typified by intense mocha-berry aromas, ripe tannins, savoury oak and meaty complexity. The wine profoundly epitomises the classic Australian 'marriage' of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz where each component dovetails neatly together. Malleea, meaning "green field", benefits from access to the best vineyard parcels and a rigorous selection process. The wine is batch-vinified at cool temperatures in headed down static fermenters. All parcels are partially barrel fermented to increase flavour complexity. The wine is then matured for around 19 months in new, tightly grained French oak hogsheads to allow the fruit to develop complexity and integration.
